Pathlib Module In Python - How To Effectively Use Path Class Of Pathlib Module

Pathlib module was introduced in Python 3.4 with PEP 428. It is a part of the Python standard library that provides an object-oriented interface for working with file paths. It allows us to create, manipulate, and operate on file paths in a platform-agnostic way.

Before the introduction to this module in Python, the obvious module to work with files was the OS module, which by the way is still very handy for many useful tasks. But for working with files OS module manipulates the path of the file as pure strings. Whereas the Pathlib module takes an object-oriented approach.
